What was that story? The death of Anna Nicole Smith.

This story eclipsed every country except Iraq, and received 10 times the coverage of the IPCC report.

Writer and actor Anna Deavere Smith gives life to author Studs Terkel, convict Paulette Jenkins, a Korean shopkeeper and a bull rider, excerpts from her solo show On the Road A Search for American Character.

Milton Friedman s and Anna Schwartz s A Monetary History of the United States belongs at the top of the list. At the center of their gripping narrative is a chapter on the Great Depression, anchored by an indictment of the US Federal Reserve Board for responding inadequately to the mounting crisis.

The population s outraged response to these events was visceral, and previously unknown figures such as the anti corruption activist Anna Hazare rallied thousands of Indians in meetings across the country to protest against government corruption. As Prime Minister Manmohan Singh s government floundered, the opposition vainly sought to gain the upper hand.

In A Monetary History of the United States, published in 1963, Friedman and Anna Jacobson Schwartz famously argued that the Great Depression was due solely and completely to the failure of the US Federal Reserve to expand the country s monetary base and thereby keep the economy on a path of stable growth. Had there been no decline in the money stock, their argument goes, there would have been no Great Depression.

Journalists and human rights activists and lawyers Anna Politkovskaya, Stanislav Markelov, Anastasia Baburova, Natalia Estemirova, and dozens of others are murdered, and no one in the Kremlin seems to mind, because they are not really a part of the New Russia that Putin is building. Indeed, just this November, Sergei Magnitsky, a lawyer for Hermitage Capital Management, died in prison because of his captors negligence.

ITHACA With 2012 underway, it is worth reflecting on how a decade of strong economic growth in emerging markets led to last year s resounding political transformations. From the dramatic events in the Middle East, to the groundswell of support for the anti corruption crusader Anna Hazare in India, leaders in emerging markets are getting a clear message from the streets that growth is not everything.

Previously, weeks of anti corruption protests launched by Anna Harare, and supported by the country s rising middle class, had brought India s government to a virtual standstill. This was followed by an embarrassing surrender to the demand of protestors that a powerful new anti corruption agency be established.

Almost none of the writers had seen the exhibition most had signed form letters. The events around the exhibition discredit the Russian Orthodox Church, just as the fatwah condemning Salman Rushdie to death discredited Islam, said Elena Bonner, Andrei Sakharov's widow.

Anna Alchuk, an artist who participated in the exhibition in the Sakaharov Center and was later charged, said she had read all 14 volumes of evidence collected by the prosecutor, and that 11 volumes consisted entirely of letters from working people expressing outrage at the show and demanding that the artists be punished. Almost none of the writers had seen the exhibition most had signed form letters.
